The talented youth sailing squad of the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Sailing Association (SVGSA) defeated professional yacht skippers from Tradewinds Yacht Charters in the ILCA 6 class at a competition held at Blue Lagoon Marina in late September 2024. Tradewinds Yacht Charters had recently relocated its base of operations to Blue Lagoon Marina after Hurricane Beryl had impacted its base in the Grenadines.
“It was a wonderful experience for our youth racing squad to compete against professional yacht skippers,” said Sabrina Marks-Dasent, SVGSA performance manager. “It not only tested their skills but also introduced them to the broader opportunities of pursuing a career in sailing.”
